Dynamic typing is shit. But type annotation plus CI checkers can give you the same benefits in most cases.

Once you need performance

If you need more performance. Many things just don't.

The post didn't mention Hollywood or a profit motivation.

That's ironic. Few countries have less readable plates.

Excellent description of the zeitgeist.

Your portrait of before generative AI is a bit hard to square with the ad driven internet, but fits ever better the further back you go.

Yeah, we're turning it all to shit in so many ways simultaneously, it's truly something awful to behold. Maybe there is a singularity coming after all, but it's not one like the credulous tech worshippers imagined.

Git’s unconventional and decentralized design—nowadays ubiquitous and seemingly obvious—was revolutionary at the time,

Of course, there's more innovation in git than being DVC but the decentralized nature wasn't revolutionary.

It was funny when I started using bzr and then git, I kept being told "it's a DVC, which is a different way to work that takes some getting used to", and I was puzzled as it felt very familiar to me. Then I looked up DVCs and found out that Sun's Teamware that I'd used for a decade was also a DVC. It was actually a return to familiar and comfortable workflows after a brief period using abominations like Perforce and Clearcase. I'm so glad they've been largely replaced. Git may not be perfect, but it's better than those in any use cases I have had.

Meh, sure she was wrong on that, but that doesn't justify taking her into custody and refusing to allow her to go home.

Not sure why they'd adjust. It's mostly urban areas where top speed makes little difference to journey times. Journey times are generally decided by how long you spend waiting at every light and intersection.

I'm particular our bodies are good at selecting the cells and organelles that are most damaged and decrepit to be broken down for material and fuel for the rest of the body. Makes sense they'd evolve to do that.

When you refeeding after a long fast, growth hormones are released that trigger replacement. So there's seem to be some rejuvenation and other benefits.

It's difficult to measure key parts of the process on a still living subject so we have to guess and extrapolate for humans. And other aspects aren't well explained or understood. So there's a lot of questionably reliable info and explanations, some of which are plausible. Like this!

Figuratively, Street kids do tend to be.

Also "the fucking old people caused this mess and are standing in the way of fixing it. We need them to die off so we can turn it around"

There has never been a young generation not saying this. Many of them have been correct too, but few have turned anything around when it's their turn.
